Transforming Tedious Excel Workflows with Custom Software Solutions – Achieving 50% More Efficiency for Easy Solar
Problem
Tedious excel workflow
Over Easy Solar was grappling with an inefficient and time-consuming Excel-based workflow. Their process involved multiple spreadsheets for critical tasks such as yield estimation, bill of materials (BOM) creation, output calculation, and report generation. This approach was not only tedious but also prone to errors, making it difficult to maintain accuracy and efficiency.
- Yield Estimation
- The team spent countless hours manually entering and verifying data to estimate yields, which slowed down project timelines.
- Bill of Materials (BOM)
- Creating and updating BOMs required meticulous attention to detail and constant cross-referencing across several spreadsheets
- Output Calculation
- Calculating outputs involved complex formulas that were difficult to manage and easy to miscalculate.
- Graphs for Reports
- Generating graphs and visual reports demanded extra time and effort, often leading to delays in delivering insights to stakeholders.
- Cable and Feet EW Calculations
- Planning and resource management tasks were bogged down by the cumbersome Excel sheets, leading to inefficiencies and potential oversights.
- Fragmented Project Management
- Managing projects through multiple disconnected spreadsheets made it difficult to track progress and collaborate effectively.
- Limited Collaboration
- The Excel-based workflow hindered collaboration, making it challenging for multiple teams and external partners to access and share critical information.
- User Management Issues
- Managing user access and roles within Excel was cumbersome, leading to security and usability concerns.
The Excel Inefficiency Trap
Relying on Excel for complex project management tasks not only increases the risk of human error but also significantly hampers efficiency and productivity, ultimately impacting the company's ability to deliver projects on time and within budget.
